What a week. I’m still

What a week. I’m still alive, and still employed, so I can’t complain. I did learn a lot though. I shall present my findings in list form.

Don’t play basketball outdoors in Texas in late June at 3pm. You will hurt for days.

Little kids are strange. They’ll bawl if someone takes a toy from them, but they were giggling and laughing during the scary parts of Finding Nemo. (edtior’s note: I had my hands over my eyes. both times i saw it.)

If you’re going to a potluck dinner and don’t know what to bring, go to HEB or your local equivalent. Buy a tub of spinach dip (it’s near the deli), and a large bread roll. Bring the dip to the dinner in some beat up tupperware. Put the tupperware in the microwave for 5 minutes. Cut out the top portion of the roll making it into a bowl. If you’re still waiting on the spinach dip, tell your friends a story about how your mom just taught you how to make this dip—it’s your first attempt. Pour heated spinach dip into roll. Serve and accept accolades.

If you think you’re going to get laid off, don’t spend time backing up files and thinking up nefarious exit plots—I tried both and it was a waste of time. I highly recommend baking cookies and passing them out.
